customers

Karen thought she could get through on a lie, but had another thing coming when tech support got wise to her BS. For a more direct approach, here's a boss who used an eye gag to remove some problem customers. And sometimes, fellow customers join in, like this customer who weaponized the tip jar to defeat a Karen.

Even after having the distinction explained to him, this dude just wasn't having it. It's one of those rare times when "the customer's always right" doesn't exactly benefit the customer. But he got what he wanted, so that's fine. It's like the time this customer ordered exactly a pound of wings and got less wings.

Gotta love a manager with a sense of humor to match their intolerance for idiotic customers. Employees have dealt with some ridiculous customer demands, having to debase themselves for the flawed and almighty " customer is always right" mentality. Here's another one where a customer weaponized a tip jar to defeat a Karen.

The garden variety Karen is known for obstructive outbursts, and this one was no different when she convinced herself that an employee was trying to ruin her day. Even given an explanation, she wasn't ready to back down. For another Karen with nonsensical demands, here's a Karen who demanded a delivery driver check her groceries out.

The guy basically forced himself into the building and demanded a tattoo, even when he was told it couldn't be done. And to top it all off, this male Karen honestly didn't believe that the owner of a tattoo place might have a tattoo on his head. For a Karen at odds with another business owner, here's a lying Karen getting decimated by an owner's response. For some tattoo tales, here are some stories of tattoo choices that had people asking questions.

Cars are a strange semi-private space, and they give people an extra sense of security to be weird. That makes it harder to work a drive-thru job where you spend all day leering into people's cars. Some customers are even looking to freak employees out, which has gotta make work a little rough. For more customer service stuff, here are weird things Walmart employees witnessed and some totally mindless things said by credit card customers.

It's no secret that online review sections have become a battleground of sorts between entitled customers and concerned owners with a whole lot of time on their hands. What gets sweet is when a lying customer gets taken to the cleaners, like this lying Karen who got decimated by this owner's response. For more retail stuff, here are dumb complaints employees had to deal with.

It's no question that employees are wary of customers. Most customers are fine, but the few who love to put retail workers in precarious positions are the kind of folks who will never be forgotten. For one that ended with more justice, here's a lying Karen that got decimated by the owner's response.

The life of a barista is a weird one. When every customer you have is someone who hasn't had their first coffee of the day, there's no knowing what kind of people can lumber in. Some take on the challenge and become a barista that's the living definition of chaotic good. Others just stand in awe and watch a 46-year-old woman drink 8 Red Bulls worth of caffeine in a single swig.

Translation fails inspire all kinds of hilarious confusion between two perfectly rational human beings. In this case, we have a customer unknowingly repeatedly pleading for nothing at all. If you're the bartender on the other side of that mishap, do you let the oblivious stupidity persist, or do you correct the translation fail as soon as possible? Could be a tough call if you end up wanting to have some fun with it. 

When it comes to entitled and mistaken customers, there can be a lot that gets in the way of everyone getting what they want. In this case, it was the few customers who made nuisance (about a deposit they were told in advance) that got them put directly down a chute of harsh consequences.

Leaving a review isn't always as simple as saying whatever you want about what happened. Case in point, this lying Karen getting decimated by an owner's response. Some business owners watch their reviews like a hawk, and they make time go into serious detail about what actually went down.

Sure, if the hill you're willing to die on costs four cents out of the charity bin, go ahead and die on that hill. Customers sometimes make demands with stupid implications, like this customer who wanted a pound of chicken wings and got less wings or this guy who demanded to ride in a go kart with no engine.

Customers often suffer from the problem of not knowing what they want, and then being extremely stern demanding that thing. For example, this customer who wanted exactly a pound of wings and got less wings, or this customer who demanded to use an engineless go kart. In this case it was a woman who demanded a refilled donut, and it went about as well as you'd expect.

These memes make us want to pull a no call, no show.
